Lisa's awkwardness wasn't resolved until Jennie appeared with a dish in her hands.

When the food was all placed down, everyone gravitated towards the dinner table.

"As soon as mom heard that you were coming back, half of the planned dishes turned into your favorites." Taehyung pointed to a few dishes.

"The other half is food you hate eating." Mother Kim gave her son a dirty look.

"Thank you, mom!" It had been a long time since Jennie tasted her mother's cooking. She had wanted to eat them in her previous life, but back then she was always getting lectured during dinner, so she never had the appetite.

Father Kim had a slight addiction to alcohol. Every time dinner was served, he would always open a small bottle of wine and drink two mouthfuls. Today was no exception. Just as he placed a bottle on the table, it was taken away.

When Father Kim looked up, he saw Lisa's pleasant smile: "Uncle, let me pour you some."

After serving Father Kim, Lisa placed the bottle down. Noticing this, Father Kim silently looked at Lisa's empty glass.

Lisa followed Father Kim's gaze to his glass and was somewhat embarrassed as he said: "Uncle, I don't drink much."

"Hn." Father Kim didn't insist as he picked his own glass and took a healthy swig.

Lisa heard the cold hum and was immediately worried, was father-in-law unsatisfied with him?

After a few seconds of hesitation, Lisa picked up the bottle of wine and poured himself a glass. Standing up, he said: "Uncle, I'd like to pay my respects."

Father Kim's eyes showed reluctance as Lisa downed his whole glass in one go.

With more than 40% alcohol, although it was a small cup, the strong and spicy taste twisted Lisa's face. As embarrassed as he was, he desperately tried not to lose face as he stuffed himself with vegetables.

Although Jennie didn't know the alcohol content of the wine, she knew doctors don't often drink, so she knew Lisa wasn't feeling well.

So she hurriedly scooped half a bowl of white bone soup and handed it to him.

Lisa gratefully accepted the bowl and drank two mouthfuls in a hurry.

"Jen, it looks like your boyfriend can't drink." Watching the entire spectacle, Taehyung couldn't help but gloat.

"Lisa is a surgeon, he usually doesn't drink." Jennie explained.

"A Surgeon? the one with a scalpel?" Taehyung was surprised.

Father Kim and Mother Kim looked at each other; the job seems OK.

"You don't need to drink." Father Kim said this when he saw Lisa's red face. However, when he finished, Father Kim secretly thought that men who can't drink really can't be considered men.

Lisa naturally heard Father Kim's unspoken words. This was Lisa's first time meeting father-in-law, how can he not meet his expectations? He picked up the wine bottle and refilled Father Kim's cup. "Uncle, although I don't usually drink, I can at least accompany you for two cups. I won't get drunk."

At Father Kim's raised eyebrow, Lisa filled his glass with an aching heart; his liver already felt busted.

So after two cups, the seemingly invincible Lisa was directly facedown on the dinner table.

"Lisa, Lisa." Jennie shook his shoulder for a while, but Lisa didn't move. She turned towards her dad and pouted: "Dad, why did you get Lisa to go all out with you?"
